I had classmates that never took MCATby Toedoc (no login)Maybe things have changed there, but no where else. I know of students who: 1. Never took the MCAT. 2. Never got there BS or any other degree finished, but got accepeted not to one, but several pod schools. 3. I know of a student who went to a community college & never took the MCAT, and had very little science background, flucked out & they took him back again. Just to make money. They knew he would never make it, they just wanted some cashola. What do you think happened to him. Flucked out a secong time. But the school made a heafty $36,000 + on him, while they screwed him around. My MCAT's were low i must say, actually pathetic but my science gpa was around 3.89. I had been working on 2 degress. Overall was 3.25 I was accepted to all 3 schools i applied. During my interview, there were 4 other prospective students. Everything does not count on gpa or mcat scores. You need to be able to communicate & bull a little. I worked in business for years & learned how to talk to & comminicate with people. I am older then most on here by 20 years or more. 1.Now, during our lunch that we were taken to, one of the guys kept his head down & did very little talking. Did he get accpeted...NO 2. The other was actually playing with his food...did he get accpeted ...NO Myself & one other from the group of 5 that day got accepted. Not sure what happed to the one other. I would say that those 2 probaly had higher MCAT's then i did, i mean mine were about as low as you can go. But I was able to talk, communicate, & appeared very likeable & dressed SHARP! All important. And by the way, as a former rocker, i had LONG HAIR & they still took me...lol But, i never pursued it after i graduated. Read my other posts if you wasnt to see what i have to say about so many of my friends who have failed in making it. I could go on & on about that.
